Chapter 305: The Fifteenth Day of the First Month
After eating, Li Yihang hoeed grass and hoeed everywhere again, but almost turned this small area around, but he didn't see any pun centipedes, Li Yihang couldn't help but be deflated, and scolded hatefully: "This red-haired beast, if you don't know that there is a two-headed artifact there, don't lead the way indiscriminately, not only kill yourself, but also kill me." ”
He looked at the four corpses exposed in the wilderness, exposed to the wind and frost, the sun and the rain, and thought that in a few days he would end up with the same fate as them, and he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and finally got up and dug a big pit, and put the four corpses in the pit and buried them.
Suddenly, he found two lines of small characters on the stone surface under the bones of the original sitting corpse, and he was curious, so he bowed down to look at it carefully and read it out: "The one who collects my bones will tie the chicken corpse with a rope and bury it in the ground, and after two days, it will be quickly withdrawn and put into a bag." ”
Isn't this teaching me how to catch a two-headed centipede? Li Yihang jumped up with excitement and shouted: "It is really a good retribution for good intentions, and the ancients will not deceive me!" He immediately dug a pit one and a half feet deep, tied the carcass of the pheasant with a rope, and buried it in the earth. He bowed three times to the place where the bones were buried, and said, "This senior, thank you for telling me the method, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, if the younger generation does not die, he will try his best to complete it for you." ”
On the third day, Li Yihang calculated the time, pulled the rope violently, pulled out the chicken corpse, and saw that the corpse was crawling with centipedes, and before he could see if it was a two-headed centipede, he hurriedly put the chicken corpse in the package, tied the pocket tightly, and saw that there were things in the cloth bag that kept churning violently, thinking that the centipede inside found that it was trapped, and struggled back and forth in a panic.
Li Yi pulled up his clothes, the black line on his abdomen had penetrated into the atrium, counting the days, today is December 19th, it is really dangerous, he patted his chest, exhaled a long breath, and said: "God, you want to kill me, hehe, it's not so easy." Open the cloth bag and take a closer look, the centipedes inside are really double-headed, that is to say, there is a head and no tail, both can be eaten, the big one is as thick as a thumb, and the small one is thinner than chopsticks, Li Yihang said: "The second brother didn't say how many pieces to soak, I see the more the better, soak all the double-headed centipedes here in wine, there will be no mistake." ”
At the moment, the centipedes were clamped out one by one with two branches, and thrown into the skin bag containing realgar wine, when all the centipedes were put into the wine to soak, the realgar wine was almost overflowing out of the sac, so he stopped, and then loaded another skin, which generally overflowed the mouth, Li Yihang smiled and said to himself: "Will I be too greedy?" Seal the mouth of the sac, after three hours, I thought that it was almost time to open the mouth of the bag, and sure enough, the two-headed centipedes in the bag all turned over their stomachs, and none of them could move, Li Yihang was overjoyed, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, raised his neck to put the mouth of the wine bag to his mouth, and drank it in a big gulp, he didn't dare to taste the taste, but he was afraid that he would not be able to drink it again after stopping.
I felt that the fluffy stuff couldn't help but slide into my throat, and the itching was disgusting, Li Yihang held back and finally drank both skin bags of wine into his stomach.
He was relieved, and sat on the ground touching his round belly. After about half an hour, Li Yihang began to feel stomach pain, knowing that this was the right way to detoxify, he was not worried, but the pain became more and more intense, and in the end, it was like a broken liver and intestines, and his whole body was in a cold sweat, and his underwear was soaked for a while, and his whole body was curled up in the ground rolling and moaning, and after a while, he fainted in pain.
I don't know how long it took, Li Yihang finally woke up, sat up, and found that he was buried in the snow, and the snow around his body was nearly a foot thick, Li Yihang was taken aback and said: "I fainted and it snowed heavily, how big is this snow, it can bury me, and it is a pity to miss this spectacular scenery." ”
He pulled up his clothes to look at his stomach, and found that the black line had disappeared, so he immediately laughed and said: "Gao Er, Gao Er, it's all up to you to save my life, I, Li Yihang, will definitely remember you." After being happy, he began to look for the way down the mountain, although the terrain here is steep, but how can he be trapped to Li Yihang, he jumped left and jumped, half a day to go down to the bottom of the cliff, around the mountain on a small half circle, back to the original road up the mountain, Li Yihang did not stay, after identifying the direction took more than two days to get out of the mountain, and then bought a horse in the market, day and night to Hanyang City, thinking: "Lan Mei said that she would die with me, I will not go back after the date, she only said that I am dead, but don't do stupid things." “
Arriving in Hanyang, it was late at night three days later, Li Yihang did not go to the Pangolin Hall, galloped to Zhang Meilan's house, he thought it was too wasteful to walk through the main gate, jumped up directly on horseback, climbed over the wall, and ran to Zhang Meilan's boudoir.
Under the illumination of the melting moonlight, a black shadow was reflected in the window of Zhang Meilan's boudoir in the west chamber, which seemed to be hanging in the air, and shook slightly. Li Yihang was taken aback and shouted, "Meilan, Meilan!" Stretched out his hand to push the door, but the door was bolted. He stretched out his foot and kicked hard, kicked the door latch, rushed into the room, and hurriedly lit the candles, only to see Zhang Meilan's feet in the air, her head and neck were wrapped in a rope loop, but the rope was hanging on the beam. He was really shocked, he hurriedly jumped up, hugged Zhang Meilan's body, pulled the rope hard, put her on the bed, and probed her snort, fortunately he was not out of breath. He shouted: "Meilan, Meilan, I'm not dead, why don't you wait a little longer, why don't you ...... Why...... Death so soon?"
Li Yihang was really like a thunderstorm at this time, he thought of this scene countless times when he rushed back, but he always comforted himself in his heart, Meilan couldn't wait for a few days, but what he had been worried about finally came true. With trembling hands, he untied the rope around Zhang Meilan's neck, and then touched her chest, a heart was still beating by itself, and a heart was finally settled: "Meilan, it's okay, I'm not dead, and you won't die." Stretched out her hand to massage the acupoints on her vest's lower abdomen a few times, and a stream of mixed yuan seven-star true qi passed from the palm of her hand, hitting it back and forth, Zhang Meilan cried out with a "wow" sound.
Zhang Meilan opened her eyes, saw Li Yihang, couldn't believe what was in front of her, and said: "Brother Yihang, are we meeting again in the underworld?" Li Yihang hugged her and said: "Silly girl, we are not dead, we are still alive, why don't you listen to my advice and tell you to leave a life, what if I come back a moment late, I can't save you anymore, how about leaving me alone in the world?"
Zhang Meilan touched Li Yihang's face, her face was bearded, and she was particularly piercing, but she felt that it was real, and she couldn't help crying with joy, crying: "Brother Yihang, how many days have I waited for you, and I thought that you had died of poison and died in the wilderness, and when I thought of your corpse being eaten by wild dogs and vultures, the unspeakable pain in my heart was like dripping blood, and my tears flowed out." Li Yihang picked up her little face, and saw that her eyes were red and swollen, the corners of her eyes were deep with tears, and her face had also lost a lot of weight, so she couldn't help but be moved, lowered her head and kissed her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so anxious, you are only a few days late and you are going to die." ”
Zhang Meilan was lying in his arms, kissed by him as if her heart was about to melt, at this moment, she felt that everything in front of her seemed to be a dream, hugged him tightly with both hands, and said: "I have been waiting for you for many days, today is the fifteenth day of the first month, I listen to the young men and women on the street singing and laughing, everyone is in pairs, and then I want to be alone, and I want to follow you." Li Yihang was taken aback and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Zhang Meilan nodded and said: "Don't you notice that there are a lot of lanterns hanging on the street, and there should be a lot of men and women coming back from playing on the street now." ”
Li Yihang said: "I didn't pay attention, I was afraid that you would do something stupid, and I just wanted to come back quickly, and I never thought that there was anyone on the road." Zhang Meilan said: "Is it true?"
Seeing her pretty face flushed under the candlelight, a deep rope mark in her neck, swollen on both sides, I thought that if I hadn't been lazy and delayed along the way, and didn't even sleep, I would have appeared at the last moment, otherwise I would have to come back by myself, I was afraid that she would be a broken jade, and she would have no skills to return to the sky, and eventually become a big hate.
Zhang Meilan said: "Brother Yihang, why did you come back so late, it made people worry about death." Li Yihang said: "I found the two-headed centipede on the 19th of the day, after drinking realgar, I had a terrible pain in my abdomen, fainted, and when I woke up, it took two days to walk out of the mountains, and it took three days to rush back, and it only took five days before and after, but I never thought that today was the Lantern Festival, is it really a day in the mountains, and it has been a thousand years in the world?" Zhang Meilan said: "Could it be that you are in a coma, and twenty days have passed?"
Li Yihang said "ah" and said: "Very likely, I remember that it didn't snow before I fainted, and after I woke up, the snow was full of snow and buried me, and I wondered how I slept for a day, and the snow was so thick, it turned out to be more than ten or twenty days of snow." Zhang Meilan said: "This is very similar to your experience in the coffin, you have slept for a long time." ”
Li Yihang was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, how similar the experience is, fortunately this time I only slept for twenty days, if I slept for even one more hour, then everything would be completely different." Zhang Meilan lowered her head and whispered: "This is all arranged by God, and he wants to test the two of us." ”
The two chatted for a while, Li Yihang was very tired, couldn't stop yawning, Zhang Meilan told him to rest quickly, this sleep until the afternoon of the second day, after waking up, Li Yihang took Zhang Meilan to the pangolin hall to report the good news, thank Gundam for saving his life, everyone saw him suddenly appeared, and his spirit was flying, high-spirited, all of them were very happy, and set down a feast to celebrate his rebirth.
After the feast was dispersed, Zhang Meilan went home first, Li Yihang stayed and drank slowly with everyone, and was chatting happily, Yang Wen suddenly remembered one thing, and took out a string of necklaces to him, Li Yihang saw it, and recognized that it was Chen Xiaohu who gave it to him, and he transferred it to Mei Zhifei......! Big brother, who gave you this necklace?"
Yang Wen saw that he looked nervous and knew that the matter was not trivial, so he said: "Before the Chinese New Year, that is, a few days after you went to Shennongjia, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man came to Hanyang, looking for your whereabouts everywhere, after I knew the news, I sent someone to find him and ask him what was the matter, and he saw that I was familiar with you, so he asked me to transfer this necklace to you." Li Yihang asked, "What does the young man look like?"
"Black and solid, round head and round face, and very white teeth...... Li Yihang knew that it was Chen Xiaoshan, and asked, "Did he say anything?" Yang Wendao: "I didn't say anything, he just said that you will understand when you see this necklace." ”
